MSC WORLD CRUISE 2028 ONE CRUISE, ENDLESS DISCOVERIES
MSC’s World Cruise 2028 invites you to circumnavigate the globe at a relaxed, unhurried pace, without packing and unpacking, airport stress or complex logistics. During 115 nights and 116 days, this unforgettable voyage takes you to 27 countries and 41 destinations. Your world cruise begins in the Mediterranean, where storied ports, artistic heritage and architectural elegance set the tone for an extraordinary voyage. Then, from sapphire waters and sunlit coastlines, you sail across the Atlantic and step into the easy rhythms of the Caribbean and Central America. Discover Ocean Cay’s pristine tranquillity and the tropical pace that defines life in the Caribbean.
Experience the iconic Panama Canal—an unforgettable highlight of the journey—followed by a call in Balboa, gateway to vibrant Panama City, where modern energy meets rich history, before opening onto the vast Pacific Ocean. Along South America’s Pacific coast, rugged landscapes and desert horizons appear at Manta, Callao and Arica. Then the world begins to feel wonderfully remote: the mystery of Easter Island, the quiet expanse of Bounty Bay and the poetic islands of Tahiti, Tonga and New Caledonia. Arriving in Auckland, cosmopolitan life meets Māori tradition and natural grandeur, before the voyage continues through New Zealand and onward to
Australia, where open seas and striking natural contrasts shape the rhythm of life. Sailing north, the Pacific gives way to the vibrancy of Southeast Asia and the layered traditions of Asia, from tropical shores to dynamic global cities. Enter the Arabian Gulf, where futuristic skylines meet desert serenity, before Jordan introduces a sense of timelessness at the gateway to Petra. The passage through the Suez Canal carries a quiet sense of arrival, leading back into the Mediterranean, through Alexandria and Civitavecchia, and finally home to Genoa, completing a remarkable circumnavigation of the globe.
